Main Focus
I am a computational behavioral scientist with training in psychology, evolutionary biology and statistics. Combining theoretical and empirical research, my overarching goal is to better understand how individuals, groups and populations adapt to changing and uncertain environments. I mostly use simulations as well as computational modeling of naturalistic group experiments and field data to study how culture and other collective dynamics emerge from individual decisions, facilitating the unique adaptability of our species.
